Who is studied
The study population is a retrospective cohort of neonates hospitalized in the Department of Neonatology at the First Hospital of Jilin University between December 2019 and December 2024. All included neonates were admitted within the first 7 days of life and were diagnosed with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, defined as having a serum total bilirubin level exceeding the phototherapy threshold for their respective postnatal age and gestational age. This cohort will be analyzed to investigate the risk factors associated with the development of adverse digestive system outcomes.
